Victoria\u2019s mother, Ella, left her and her hard\u2011working father, Edward, in Iowa for New\u202fYork to escape poverty, abandoning 15\u2011year\u2011old Victoria. After Ella\u2019s departure, Edward died in a tragic accident, and her grandfather, Silas, succumbed to cancer a year later\u2014forcing Victoria to live with her mother and Ella\u2019s boyfriend, Dave, whose toxic attitude led him to leave and worsen Ellen\u2019s neglect.<\/p>\n
Undeterred, Victoria earned a scholarship to NYU, met Kevin at a caf\u00e9, and became pregnant. But Kevin dumped her when he found out, and Ella refused to help. Determined, Victoria completed her degree and returned to her grandfather\u2019s dilapidated Iowa home.<\/p>\n
